    I'm Selim Kazem, I'm Nigerian, and I'm in my final year at the 麻豆传媒社区入口, where I'm currently studying Accounting and Finance, and I'm set to graduate with a first class grade this summer.

    So in this video, I'll be giving you a brief overview about my decision to come to Sussex, my transition to uni life, my course, and some parting words of advice towards a successful academic career.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] CHOOSING SUSSEX

    So I attended a college that was about a 13 minutes drive from the main campus.

    Since Sussex had a very high ranking on the university league tables, and I also heard really nice reviews from my college tutors, I saw that as an opportunity to go on to a university with a high academic standard that was also an hour away from London.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] STARTING UNI

    My university transition was quite rapid despite missing freshers week due to visa issues.

    There were loads of student connectors, student ambassadors and residential advisers who were stationed at every part of the school [to look after] freshers for the first few weeks.

    But in my academic transition, I know university can be quite different from college in terms of lecture delivery and the large lecture halls can be very intimidating.

    But don't worry, every lecture will be followed by a seminar or workshop where you'll be broken down into smaller groups and you will feel more confident to participate.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] FAVOURITE THINGS

    In the BSc Accounting andf Finance course, you should know that the lecturers are very welcoming.

    They are accessible and they can be very considerate.

    So feel free to ask questions during and after the lectures, or just go visit them in their office [if] you have any questions and they'll be willing to sit down and provide explanations for you.

    You should also know that at various points of your course, guest lecturers from financial institutions like investment banks and consulting firms such as PWC and Rothschild will be invited where they will provide detailed insights regarding the consulting industry and also give advice on these competitive financial institutions.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] WHAT’S NEXT?

    The next step for me will be starting a professional career in investment banking.

    With the knowledge and practical skills, as well as connections I've gained at Sussex, I should be able to create value in the corporate world and for humanity.

    [ON SCREEN TEXT] MY ADVICE

    University [isn't just about] going to classes every day.

    It's also about making lifelong friendships and connections.
